The Camping Chronicles: Cousin Fun

Morgan has 4 cousins. Anna, who is 4, Matthias 3, Kaien 2 and Emmy, 18 months. He loves them all. He misses them since we moved away and often says their names. They were all camping with us and he had a blast playing with them. But tell you what, camping with 5 youngsters like that isn't easy! It is a constant battle to keep them clean, close and content.

The first day Anna and Morgan walked around together holding hands. It was cute, but hard to get a good picture because they kept moving! Sorry that I cut your head off, Anna!

Mattie, Anna, and Morgan just hanging out.

Emmy and Morgan played for a long time in this wood pile.
I'm sad that I didn't get a better picture of this. All of the kids found Grandpa's ATV trailer to be a great toy, (much to my dad's chagrin). They all ran up and down over and over and even tried to slide down the ramp as if it were a slide.

Here is all of the cousins climbing the hill next to our site.

Anna blowing bubbles, Morgan popping them.

Morgan wanted to blow them too. He actually had some success. But when he got to hold the wand himself it went straight into his mouth! I thought he would immediately remove it in revulsion, but no, he left it there like a sucker until I interceded. Then his cousin Mattie thought it was a funny thing to do, so he put it in his mouth too. He did quickly remove it, and the first thing he said after ward came out with a bubble. Then Morgan got a hold of it again and it was once more in his mouth. The bubble wand was taken from him resulting in him shouting, "Mine! Mine! Mine!" With each mine that he shouted a bubble came out! I thought that stuff only happened in cartoons!

that last pic of Morgan and the bubble wand is SO CUTE! That was just before he ate it the first time I think. What a fabulous hand it is which is holding the wand for him.
